I don't think either strikes were good, but I do think that there's a double standard, Israels strikes were fine, but Iran's aren't?
Coverage has been pretty even handed by the news outlets I use, not so much from the lemmings gallery.
Here in the UK its been pretty one sided talking about how Israel has a right to defend itself mostly talking around the fact that Israel shot first.
The Iranian strike hit the Israeli Pentagon, a military target that Israel chose to surround with civilians, actual human shields, that Iran managed not to hit. Israel targeted apartment blocks.
I didn't know that about the Iranian strike.
Yeah, theres a great video of a Fox News host describing the damage, followed by an Israeli soldier yelling at them.
